With Friends Like These

 

at least I assume they were his friends and they didn’t just shanghai some passing disabled person.

Man in wheelchair left on Snowdon

Rescuers had to help a man in a wheelchair down Snowdon after a group of people who had carried him there left him on his own during the ascent.

The six martial arts enthusiasts were taking part in a fundraising record attempt and had carried the man up Llanberis Path.

They decided to leave him before they reached the peak, and were too tired when they returned to carry him down.

It may well be I’m judging too harshly and the wheelchair user pulled a Captain Oates with a “Go on lads, leave me here, it’s for Charideeeee” Little suspecting they would be too knackered on the way down to pick him up.

However I would think being a ‘Martial Arts Enthusiast’ would entail a perhaps higher degree of fitness than normal though and some pre-training would have been done. But perhaps, as no discipline is mentioned, Martial arts Enthusiast just means a group of blokes who like watching Bruce Lee movies.

I do hope they get sent a bill though.

And maybe next time the wheelchair guy should be in one of these.
